The satellites will teach “hang” over the pole under solar sail

Engineer MacInnes Colin (Colin McInnes) from the University of Glasgow (UK) together with colleagues from the European space Agency (ESA) has developed a set of parameters for the orbits polar satellites, and proposed a number of fundamental technological solutions for such devices.
